"Flutter ......"
A low penetrating sound came, and the head of the Mitsubishi armor-piercing spear made of stainless steel stabbed into the chest of the Houjin cavalry on the opposite side effortlessly, and while piercing into the opponent's armor, Wu Chengfeng also quickly let go of the right hand holding the cavalry spear.
In such a charge, the cavalry did not dare to hold the cavalry gun in their hands after stabbing the enemy, and they had to let go of their hands immediately after stabbing the enemy. Because under such a high impact, if the cavalry holds the cavalry spear tightly, then he can easily be pulled off by the high-running war horse after stabbing the enemy.
After letting go of the cavalry gun, Wu Chengfeng immediately pulled out the saber on the saddle again, and before he could raise the saber, he saw a cold light flash above his head out of the corner of his eye. Wu Chengfeng immediately knew that the big thing was not good, and his mind didn't have time to reflect it, his body had already reacted first, only to hear the cold wind flashing, and the cold light swept past his head, hitting the armor behind him, and there was a metal impact sound of "dang", this force was so great that it almost knocked Wu Chengfeng off the horse.
Fortunately, the armor worn by Wu Chengfeng was very strong, and after being slashed, he only felt a tingling sensation from his back, except for a tingling sensation of injury.
Wu Chengfeng, who had picked up a small life, did not have time to be angry or emotional, because both sides were high movements, Wu Chengfeng, who had been slashed, did not look back, but raised the saber in his hand and slashed at another Houjin cavalryman who was rushing towards him......
The two cavalry slammed into each other, roars, shouts, the clash of weapons, and the sounds of fighting to form a picture of blood and fire.
Unlike the musketeers, who shoot the enemy with their muskets, the duel between cavalry and cavalry is straightforward. It's also cruel. Here, the courage, skill and experience of the soldiers are tested. Don't be a little fake.
The cavalry of the Houjin were all experienced warriors who were highly skilled, strong, and experienced. The cavalry of the Ming army is a group of novices who have been trained for less than a year, and their experience and martial arts are naturally not as good as those Jurchens, but they also have their own advantages, and their equipment is not as high as the Houjin cavalry. As long as the Houjin cavalry did not shoot them off their horses with heavy weapons, it was difficult for ordinary swords and spears to give them a fatal blow, so with their thick armor and sharp and thick sabers, the two sides were evenly matched for a while.
Now that the cavalry is all fought. The remaining infantry could not be idle, and Yue Yang commanded the four infantry phalanxes and still pressed towards the Houjin army unhurriedly.
And Yue Tuo squinted his eyes at the slowly coming Ming army array, and sighed lightly: "This Ming army is really powerful, much stronger than the Ming army encountered in the past, if the Ming army is like this, where is there still a way for our Jurchens to live." If he could, Ben Belle would rather pay a great price to wipe out all this Ming army. It's a pity...... It's a pity ......."
The surrounding generals all understood the meaning of Yue Tuo's words, now the Houjin soldiers and horses are equivalent to the approximate strength of the Ming army, but their own iron cavalry has been entangled by the opponent's cavalry, and the infantry sent over can only be the target of the opponent's firecracker, if he has another cavalry in his hand, it is estimated that Yue Tuo will probably destroy this Ming army at any cost.
After looking at it for a while, Yue Tuocai sighed and said, "Pass my order." The whole army retreated, sounded the trumpet and told SΓΉ Karchu, ordering him to be sure to hold back the Ming army and to protect his army from retreating to the camp. β
"Woo...... Woowoowoo......"
Another horn sounded, and Kar Chuxu, who was directing the cavalry and the Ming cavalry to fight fiercely, was stunned at first. Only then did he slowly command the troops to retreat while fighting.
As soon as the headquarters of the Houjin Army moved, Feng Xiaoming immediately reflected: "My lord." The Tartars are running away! β
"I saw it!" Yue Yang said quietly: "It was originally expected that the Tartars would retreat, and I didn't expect to be able to annihilate them in one fell swoop. It's a pity, it would be nice if we had more cavalry! β
Speaking of this, Yue Yang sighed lightly. When fighting with the Houjin army, almost everyone had horses, and they did take advantage of it, and their mobility improved, and they could fight and leave as much as they wanted, but they were limited by mobility, and it was difficult to pursue the enemy when the enemy retreated.
However, although Yue Tuo ran away, there were still a lot of Houjin's cavalry here who were entangled by Wu Chengfeng, and Yue Yang gave an order, and immediately divided two phalanxes and moved in the direction of Wu Chengfeng.
It's a pity that although this person is short-tempered, his fighting skills are not ambiguous, and after seeing the infantry phalanx of the Ming army moving towards him, he accelerated his retreat. When the two infantry phalanxes arrived at the battlefield, they could only leave less than a hundred corpses of the Houjin cavalry.
With the retreat of the Houjin cavalry, the battlefield that was originally murderous began to calm down. After the battle, the cavalry felt a feeling of prostration, and many people looked around at the corpses scattered all around and wept bitterly.
At this moment, a warm breeze blew, and a thick smell of blood poured into everyone's noses.
Yue Yang jumped off his horse and walked towards the battlefield, more than a dozen personal soldiers also hurriedly followed, the battlefield here has not been cleaned yet, if one or two undead Tartars jump up and give the adults a knife, then they will be responsible for the death of these guards.
When Yue Yang walked to a battlefield, Wu Chengfeng also rode his horse and ran over, and when he came to Yue Yang's side, he jumped off his horse and walked quickly to Yue Yang's side.
Yue Yang asked in a deep voice: "Mr. Wu Qian, how many people were killed and injured in the battle just now?" β
Wu Chengfeng lowered his head bitterly, "My lord, the number of people has not been counted yet, but it is estimated that there will be at least two hundred casualties." β
"Two hundred?"
Hearing this, Yue Yang felt that his heart and liver trembled. He only brought 2,000 cavalry in this battle, and he suffered 200 casualties in the first battle just now, which is one-tenth of the cavalry's strength.
These cavalry were trained by him with a lot of manpower, material resources and funds, and now there were such large casualties in less than two hours, and Yue Yang was so distressed that he grinned.
"Have the wounded been sent back?"
"Back to the adults, the wounded have been sent back to the camp."
"Go, take me to see the wounded brother!"
Yue Yang waved his hand and walked towards the camp with Wu Chengfeng and the others.
After returning to the camp, Yue Yang and the others came to an open field. There are simple small beds in the open air in this open space, a smell of blood and bursts of wails are heard, beside these small beds, more than a dozen doctors who accompany the army are busy, they have already prepared a large number of boiling water utensils, as well as wound medicine, sharp knives, etc., for these wounded soldiers to dig and cut arrows, wash wounds, apply medicine and bandage, etc.
There were about 100 wounded soldiers treated here, and when they saw Yue Yang coming, the wounded struggled to sit up and wanted to salute Yue Yang, and Yue Yang hurriedly went over to persuade them to lie down.
Yue Yang pulled a doctor over and asked, "How are the wounded here?" β
The doctor said: "The rest is easy to say, but there are more than 30 people who are seriously injured and may not survive today." β
Yue Yang was taken aback and asked in surprise, "How can there be so many?" β
The doctor sighed: "This is quite a little, but fortunately thanks to the elixirs brought by the adults, at least none of our wounded soldiers died because of wound infection, and those who died were too injured to survive, and the villain was already in full strength." β
There was a sense of exhaustion in the doctor's voice, and the white robe on his body was no longer visible, and it was extremely wrinkled, since the start of the war, he and more than a dozen doctors had been busy non-stop, and they were already very tired.
At this time, a voice sounded next to him, "Lord Yue, Lord Yue!" β
Yue Yang turned his head to see a dying wounded man lying next to him, and Yue Yang knew that he was a cavalryman as soon as he looked at the armor on his body. The wounded man's head was probably hit by a heavy weapon, half of his face had been knocked out, and the blood was pouring out, and the two doctors could not stop the bleeding.
Yue Yang hurriedly walked over and held his hand and said softly, "Brother, I'm here, just say anything you want!" β
The wounded man said with difficulty: "My lord, the villain is a displaced person from Shandong last year, thanks to the adult's refusal to give up, the villain's family distributed seeds, farm tools and food, and let the villain's family go to open up the wasteland, and this year got a good harvest." The villain's family finally had a full meal...... Villain...... The villain is willing to die for the adult. It's just that the villain is worried that his mother and wife will have no one to take care of him after death, and he hopes that the adults will ...... Able to take care of one or two ...... Villain...... The villain will be a cow and a horse in the next life, and I will be grateful for your kindness......"
Before Yue Yang could speak, Wu Chengfeng on the side said with tears in his eyes: "Brother, don't worry, I will take care of your family for you, and I will never let them go hungry if I have a bite to eat." β
Yue Yang also nodded: "Don't worry, this official will also take care of them, and they will not be frozen and hungry." β
As he said this, Yue Yang felt his hand slowly loosen from his grip, and he looked down to see that the wounded soldier had closed his eyes peacefully.
Yue Yang slowly stood up, sighed softly, looked at the sunset that had begun to set, and for a while he only felt that this round of sunset was as red as blood, and he didn't know how many brave soldiers would be killed and injured along the way.
I don't know how long it took, Wu Chengfeng's voice sounded on the side: "My lord, the Tartars have retreated, it is estimated that they will withdraw soon, what should we do?" Still chasing or not? β
"Of course you have to chase!"
Yue Yang's voice became cold, we died in this battle, of course we can't let them die in vain. It's okay for the Tartars to leave if they want, after all, we can't leave them all behind yet. But this is not the Tartars' own vegetable field, they can come and go as they want, and if they don't leave something, wouldn't they let them underestimate us?
